         5 . A headset according to  claim 1 , wherein the short-range transceiver is a Bluetooth transceiver or a Wi-Fi transceiver. 
     
     
         6 . A headset according to  claim 1 , wherein the headset is further adapted to connect to a mobile phone via the short-range transceiver. 
     
     
         7 . A headset according to  claim 1 , wherein the headset is adapted for transmitting and receiving voice signals via the short-range transceiver. 
     
     
         8 . A headset according to  claim 1 , which is a monaural headset with means for attaching it in front of an ear of a user or a stereo headset with a headband or a neckband interconnecting two earphones. 
     
     
         9 . A headset according to  claim 1 , wherein the headset comprising the speaker, the microphone, the short-range transceiver and the long-range transceiver is configured to be worn at the head of a user and/or attached to at least one ear of a user. 
     
     
         10 . A headset ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the headset comprises voice recognition. 
     
     
         11 . A headset system comprising a headset according to  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral electronic device comprising a short-range transceiver corresponding to the short-range transceiver of the headset and a user interface. 
     
     
         12 . A headset system according to  claim 11 , wherein the peripheral electronic device is configured to manage outgoing and incoming phone calls from and to the headset. 
     
     
         13 . A headset system according to  claim 11 , wherein the peripheral electronic device comprises a display. 
     
     
         14 . A headset system according to  claim 13 , wherein the display is configured to display a contact list, a call list and/or a phone number. 
     
     
         15 . A headset system according to  claim 11 , wherein the peripheral electronic device is a tablet computer. 
     
     
         16 . The headset system of  claim 1 , wherein said headset includes a low battery sensor and wherein a phone call in progress is transferable to another device in a low battery condition. 
     
     
         17 . A method of initiating a phone call from a headset containing a short range transmitter to a display input device and a long range transmitter to a cellular tower comprising the steps of downloading a telephone dial list to said input device, selecting a number from said list at said input device, transmitting the number, via said short range transmitter, to said headset, having the headset initiate a cellular call therefrom, and decoupling said input device, if the headset is moved out of range, without dropping the call. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein said input device is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display. 
     
     
         19 . A headset for wireless telecommunication comprising:
 a speaker,   a microphone,   a housing incorporated with said housing is a short-range transceiver for establishing a short-range wireless link to a peripheral electronic device comprising a corresponding short-range transceiver and a user interface,   a long-range transceiver for establishing a long-range wireless link to a Base Transceiver Station in a cellular network, whereby the headset is able to make telephone calls,   
       and wherein the headset includes a data table of phone numbers, and is adapted to transmit said data table to said peripheral device and receive dialing instructions from the peripheral electronic device via the short-range transceiver to initiate cellular telephone calls, whereupon said peripheral device is superfluous to the initiated call.
